The "Promoting a Safe Internet for Minors Act" mandates the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to establish a nationwide public awareness and educational campaign within 180 days to enhance online safety for individuals under 17. This program will involve partnerships with various stakeholders, including government agencies, schools, and industry, to identify and promote best practices for minors, parents, educators, and online platforms. The campaign aims to facilitate access to and exchange of information regarding online safety, encompassing protection from cybercrimes, adult content, and preventing compulsive online behavior and other adverse health impacts. The bill defines "online safety" broadly to include these protective measures and the effective use of safeguards. To ensure ongoing oversight, the Commission must submit an annual report to Congress for ten years, detailing the activities and effectiveness of this comprehensive online safety initiative.
